I don't know these people were paid to give these reviews or if they switched owners, but I picked…read morefive different desserts so I can get an experience because according to the reviews it's one of the best bakeries, but this is trash. This will definitely be given to the dogs in the streets. I did see many people coming in only to buy bread so maybe that's what is the reason why this place has a lot of good reviews is because the bread is good but I did not try it. I definitely would not recommend any of the pastries on top of that the lady that was providing the pastries was not polite.

El pastelillo de guayaba también era más masa que guayaba, y para colmo, con exceso de azúcar arriba. El pan sobao, sabe a pan de agua, duro y sin lo dulce o esponjoso típico.

Some of the best sandwiches in Ponce come from Siglo XXI. Aside from being a bakery, they their…read moresandwich selection is good and well prepared, which makes a difference. The staff was very friendly and helpful when we were ordering. We ordered a bistec sandwich, pastrami sandwich and some pastries. You can tell the quality of the meat based on how much fat you encounter, and rarely did we find any with the bistec sandwich. The pastrami was thinly sliced, which allows the other ingredients space for flavor. Another highlight of Siglo XXI is their variety of drinks, from having the typical sodas and Malta India, they also had fresh fruit drinks. Because of the distance to the University, they tend to have walk-in traffic but the waits are not long by any means, and the restaurant itself has plenty of seating and comes across as clean.

As we waited at our table we noticed how packed it was getting. This is were it gets bad, the people that sat and ordered after us were getting there food before us. First my coffee tasted like burnt coffee and which I got a cookie dough flavor and when I asked the server if there was cookie dough she said yes and that she could not add more or change it after I said I did not like it. Horrible customer experience. Then the food was the next part, my Montecristo sandwich was pure mustard! The food was not desirable and by the time we got it our hunger was gone. We waited more than 30 minutes for 3 sandwiches and a soup. While other people got there's faster. We did have to go up to the front and ask for a refund because we did not even want to eat at that point. During busy hours not a good idea.

As mentioned above, we went to the Plaza el Caribe food court location but the menu was very limited so we chose to go to another nearby location. Menu was more extensive, but I was disappointed that they no longer had yuca fries on their menu. I ordered the pavo (turkey) sandwich which was 5.99. It came with their special white queso and a little bit of lettuce and diced tomato. It was a bit dry (needed more mayo) and was skimpy on the pavo. I ordered the natural cut fries and they were really good, but not hot and fresh (1.99 lg). My friend ordered the cubano sandwich and he really enjoyed that along with the corn surrillos (fritters) and a pastel de yuca (yuca soup). I had one surrillo and it was too dry and I tried a spoonful of the soup and it was really tasty. It reminded me of butternut squash soup. Overall, our meals were still good, dining room was very clean (outdoor seating as well), employees were friendly, and the prices are amazing (26.15 total). Parking was very congested and tight (park on the street if you can).
